| Abstract: | Results are reported of a comparative longitudinal study of the financial planning and control practices of a large number of British companies, from 1975 to 1981. The companies were taken from four industrial sectors: Clothing, Construction, Food, Drink and Tobacco, and Mechanical Engineering. 242 companies participated in the study, ranging in size from large to small and major including quoted and non-quoted-quoted companies. The study shows major differences between planning theory and practice. Moreover, company practices in 1975 and 1981 cannot be considered to be advanced. |
